Top login box always fails
« on: September 06, 2009, 01:04:27 PM »
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but whenever I try to login using the box at the top left, it always fails (says my password is incorrect). Yet when I enter the same username and password in the middle of the error page, it works. :dunno:

Matt, I thank you for bringing this issue up. :yes: This has always happened to me, and I haven't mentioned it only becasue I've kind of gotten use to it. :blushing: But yes, I'll enter my password (definetely correct) the first time and get an error. But then the second time, it will log me in fine. :wacko: I really hope this can be fixed. :hammer:

Same here, and when I ask to memorize the password it doesn't store it

I've found out that you need to close your browser and delete the cookies each time you log out of TWCT so that the top login box will always work for next time.  The cookies expire at the end of each session.  Thus, if you try to log in while still having those cookies stored in your browser, the top login box will fail.
